How else are we supposed to judge people from here? It’s our only form of “interaction.” Well, unless you talk to other members on the phone/IM/in real life, which most of us don’t do.

Anyway,

Re: sounding “God-like” (which, I wouldn’t necessarily call it that anyway), why give out advice on PLing if A. you’re likely giving out shitty advice, and B. in that entire post you just made, you say you’ve been around the bodybuilding scene and are well versed in nutrition, but nothing about powerlifting. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see the point in giving out advice on topics you’re not too well versed in. And just because you used the conjugate method here and there, or that you squat 500lbs doesn’t make you a PLer.

In all honesty, I read your posts about nutrition and shit, but I do think most of your other posts on here have an “I’m better than all you minions” attitude to it. But I’m sure some of mine do, too. hah[/quote]

So I must be a PLer to talk shop about bodybuilding training on here. According to this line of thinking, and as I said before, there would be almost NO forums.

No, you don’t need to be a PLer to talk about bodybuilding. I would expect you to have significant experience/knowledge about PLing if you’re going to give out advice ON POWERLIFTING, however.

You didn’t express yourself poorly. You said, “With a 1 to 5 rep max especially, you need to brace yourself, take the lax out of the bar, slowly grind up to the knees, and THEN explode through.” Which is some of the worst advice I’ve ever heard for deadlifting.

It would be similar to me suggesting someone use surge as a protein shake before bed for losing fat.

I agree. Like I said, you give pretty good advice on nutrition/bodybuilding from what I read from you, which is fine. I just think it’s stupid to give shitty advice on something you don’t know too much about (powerlifting.)

I never said you need to hold any records, let alone world records to give advice. Just have half a clue on the subject you’re advising others on.

That’s a fair post.

Chicken, I agree with your assesment of BG for the most part.

In my opinion, BG can be the biggest asshole on this site and I don’t agree with some of the things he says. But, at the same time, I agree with a lot of his posts and see the humor when he’s being an asshole. Sometimes I laugh. Other times I think he’s just being a dick that LOVES to push buttons just to see how far he can push you… I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing.

No matter what, you can’t say that he’s boring. To me, that’s the worst thing you could be on here… A dumb, boring, asshole, who doesn’t contribute a thing.

Now, when it comes to him meeting guys face to face to possibly fight them… I think that’s just beyond dumb. Like Lanky, i’m done with that part of my life. There’s too much at stake and you really have NOTHING to gain from fighting.

I’d rather bust balls over some beers and have fun in this stage of my life. I want to work, lift, eat, fuck, love and laugh as much as possible for the rest of my life. That’s my plan. Fighting with people irl or on the internet, is not.

Although, I know all too well how people will say shit when they’re sitting behind a computer and feel that they can say whatever they want, be disrespectful, without there being any reprocussions.

I’ve paid visits to guys at my work place, after hearing someone talk shit or something condescending and it’s funny how fast they’ve back-pedaled and changed their tone. But, I sure as hell am not going to let someone from the internet get me that upset that I want to actually fight them. Now, to me, that’s weak.

I enjoy BG’s verbal sparring and ball-busting… It can be a good time. He’s obviously intelligent and well spoken. It’s when he resorts to calling people out to meet them in the school yard after school, is when he jumps the shark, in my opinion.

At the end of the day, I really don’t care about who’s being an ass or who disagrees with me. It becomes a blank slate after that conversation or argument.

It’s IMPOSSIBLE for me to genuinely dislike someone on this website. (The people who have the strongest personalities and egos, are most often people that I can’t take THAT seriously. More often than not, they amuse me and like them for whatever reason…)

Now, I might think someone’s a douchebag or a nutty bitch at any given moment. But, it’s forgotten about very quickly… I have much more important things to think about, other than someone on the internet being a dickhead.

That’s all I have. I’m tired and i’m going home. Later…[/quote]

I am truly bewildered. I don’t get this “internet defense”. In one breath, you’re above “meeting someone in person” and in the next, you talk about visiting someone at the work place? Let me be clear. I don’t hide behind the computer.

I believe as a man, you are responsible for the words that come out of your mouth - whether you utter them or type them. I’m not sure why this very basic concept of honor and MANHOOD eludes other so called men, except apparently for AC. Yes. I bust balls.

Sometimes my sarcasm doesn’t translate. Sometimes it falls like a lead balloon. I am accountable for EVERY word I type as are you and every other man here. I don’t think that requires any explanation.

Now, if you choose to type things here to someone that you wouldn’t say in person, well I don’t think that requires any explanation either - it just speaks for itself, res ipsa.

Is this directed at me? Do you still think I insulted you somehow when I asked you for a damn video? Are you implying I wouldn’t ask you for a video in person?

You’ve got me bewildered.
